What Follows Is Silence

A quiet boy, full of thoughts, leaves his house holding a toy airplane. He boards a bus and, while playing with the model, arrives at Parco Perotti in Bari, where the memorial stele for Tuninter Flight 1153 stands — a flight that departed from Bari and ditched off the coast of Sicily, near Capo Gallo, on August 6, 2005, causing 16 deaths and deeply affecting the lives of 23 survivors.
